17 Years After Calling Off Their Engagement, Jennifer Lopez And Ben Affleck Are Back Together

Newly single Jennifer Lopez  has been spotted with Ben Affleck, spending time with him in Los Angeles after her split from Alex Rodriguez, sources exclusively tell Page Six.

Sources disclosed that the Oscar winner has been spotted many times going to J.Lo’s California home during the day,  after having been picked up in a white Escalade SUV that allegedly belongs to Lopez and then taken to her nearby mansion.

While the pair have not been spotted together, a source told Page Six, “Security picks him up at a nearby location and drops him off after spending a few hours at her house.”

Affleck, 48, has allegedly visited Lopez, 51, three times since she returned to Los Angeles from shooting her new film, “Shotgun Wedding,” in the Dominican Republic.

But sources close to the stars tell us they are just friendly and have remained so over the years.

 

An insider said: “They are friends … they’ve never not been.”

Page Six reported that Lopez was spotted out to dinner with Rodriguez on April 23 at the Hotel Bel-Air, the same spot where the exes went on their first date back in 2017. She owns a $28 million mansion nearby.

But A-Rod wasn’t the only former fiancé Lopez has allegedly seen since she got back in town.

Sources told us that Affleck was spotted at the same hotel a day before J.Lo saw A-Rod, on April 22, being dropped off by a white SUV — which later drove Lopez and a business associate to a business meeting.

Days later, on April 28, Affleck was allegedly seen coming out of Lopez’s Bel Air home, sources said.

He was spotted again the next day, April 29, dropping his car at the Hotel Bel-Air in the morning and being picked up by the same white Escalade to go to J.Lo’s home. About 3½ hours later, the same white SUV dropped him back at the hotel’s valet, sources said.

Affleck was photographed exiting the white SUV in a T-shirt, jeans and sneakers, with a green backpack. He was also photographed leaving his car at the hotel.

Affleck and Lopez were engaged in 2002, and famously dubbed “Bennifer” by the media. But they postponed their wedding in 2003. They split months later in January 2004. Lopez has called the breakup with Affleck “probably my first big heartbreak.”

J.Lo has been seeing famous friends after her breakup with Rodriguez. “When you’re that famous, who are you going to talk to? People who you know, other famous people,” a source said.

Lopez has reportedly been leaning on another ex, Marc Anthony, in the wake of the split, and has also seen her longtime friend Leah Remini.

Reps for Affleck and Lopez did not comment.
